The Flyers held a 33-28 lead at the end of the first half by shooting 48.0 percent from the floor. Manhattan was just behind at 41.7 percent including a 4-of-10 showing from beyond the arc.

Both team's improved in the second half with the Jaspers connecting on an even 50.0 percent of their field goal attempts. That was no match for Dayton which shot 58.8 percent from the field in the second frame.
